It's been five generations after the first war between Samurai and Shinobi. The five villages were founded shortly after and there has never been a war between them. Until now, all five villages have been off limits to the outside world, however the gates have been opened and ninja were allowed to travel between. But suddenly, kage are falling ill and no one knows who's behind it. The Hokage and Raikage both lie in comatose state, awaiting an answer as to what put them there.

Village Positions

Just a simple system that'd involve an edit in the character template and at times Kage Approval, but yeah.

Village Positions are occupations of sorts that your character is tasked with doing as a shinobi. This can be assumed to be the what you are doing during down time between missions and things of that nature and give Shinobi things to do or strive for outside of simple Shinobi or letter ranking. It also adds a slight new dynamic to things.
